'Once Upon a Time' ratings bounce back, but not...

Returning after a short break, Once Upon a Time perked back up in the ratings Sunday night, but the same cannot be said for fellow ABC dramas Revenge and 666 Park Avenue.

Once Upon bounced 11 percent since its last airing two weeks ago to deliver 8.8 million viewers and a 3.0 rating among adults 18-49 last night, which makes the show the evening’s highest-rated drama. But Revenge slipped 12 percent to a season low despite its lead-in rising, and dead-drama-walking 666 was steady.

CBS’ lineup, tentative due to some sports overrun, was largely unchanged, except for The Mentalist perking up 29 percent from last week’s low number (when it aired around 11 p.m. thanks to football). Fox’s comedies got some boost from some NFL overrun early in the evening– particularly The Simpsons which for got to beat out usual winner Family Guy for the lineup’s top spot. Obviously NBC won the night with Sunday Night Football, but those Green Bay vs. N.Y. Giants ratings are very preliminary since morning ratings for live telecasts aren’t yet time-zone-adjusted by Nielsen.
